IN CONVERSATION|DANIEL ROBERTS
Name|Daniel Roberts
Age|22
Hometown|London, England
How did you get discovered?
Minding my own business at the Tignes X Games, drinking away when a French agency scouted me and invited me to go to Paris!
What were you doing prior to modeling?
Skiing, majoring in Economics and Finance at Bristol and pursuing a job in technology
People would be surprised to know that I...
know a lot of Eminem lyrics...I mean, a lot!
What's your latest obsession?
Buying endless amount of ski gear! Even though my season days are over, for some reason, I still think spending large amounts on kit for the mountains everyday is ok!
Your most prize possession?
My iPad! It goes everywhere I go...holding everything I create. My little window into creativity!
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
Bjorn Borg, a complete expert at what he does best, at the same time, keeping totally calm whilst his opponents scream, shout and melt under pressure! That's a great competitor!
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?
To Beyonce while watching the movie, Dreamgirls
Three adjectives that best describes you:
Charismatic, Driven and Chilled
Describe your personal style:
Messy, baggy and basically the opposite of clean cut until the agency steps in and tells me it is time to get tidy up!
Your favorite place you have travel to:
Sorry to drag on about skiing but Tignes, France
Your favorite film and scene from the film:
Apocalypto—Scene: The black panda rising from the mud and continuing the pursuit!
Your favorite sport:
Sport: Tennis
Team: Nadal, the lefty powerhouse
If there's a destination or item you would recommend us to check out or visit about your native country/city or town, what would you recommend?
London, England—To Wimbledon, for a freezing, sunny day in the best part of London
Your favorite song/artist:
In Da Club by 50 Cents & Stand Up by Ludacris
Favorite moment in modeling:
Lookbook for APC was cool. Great place and clothes! Funny failing at flirting with the stylist when I had to put on a grey onesie!
Your wish for 2013?
Secure a job in London to get my life up and running there! Hopefully a few trips to NY to continue the modeling elsewhere and get established with a London agency. Plus a ski trip at the end of the year, of course!
